Talk Porty ~ Portobello

Paxetamor

you came up with a splendid idea.
Thanks Seashell, but, as I already said twice in my post, it wasn't my idea.

Paxetamor

I was the one the that was called moron x 2, foolish, stupid and, no doubt, others that I've forgotten. All very brave, hiding behind the anonymity of this forum, for daring to suggest (2nd hand) the Big W site, along with using the golfie as playing fields. I'm still not sure why it was dismissed w...

Paxetamor

Porty, I hope you don't live anywhere near the golfie. Are you nobbling Sam with your chocolate biscuits? Chocolate's poisonous to dogs, don't you know? One down. How many more to go? Apparently none, if you listen to the tripe spouted on this forum. On the one hand you have it down as a dogs toilet...

Paxetamor

In the spirit of Positive Porty - my name's Tricia. Pax et amor my arse.

Paxetamor

Deliberate misinterpretation then, is that better? Arse isn't a swear word, by the way, so please don't feel you have to ignore it, especially when it was central to what I was saying i.e. Porty is so far from being positive just now that it's a total misnomer.

Paxetamor

Maybe if you had actually made a point, which wasn't based on a mis-quote, it wouldn't have clearly went over my head. I think you know fine well that I wasn't referring to anything to do with the court case, but Porty's remarks to Lashy, which, as is your right, you chose to ignore. It did make for...

Paxetamor

You forgot 'my arse'. V. disappointed. Anybody would think that you're trying to twist what I wrote to meet your own ends. Can't believe that you've read the last few posts and the only thing that you pick up on is me writing Positive Porty my arse, and you can't even get that right. What makes you ...

Paxetamor

And you seriously wonder where the cyber-bullying accusations come from? At first I thought you were quoting lyrics from some blues song, until you spoiled it at the end with your genetics dig. Get a grip. If you're having a drink it's time to stop before you make an even bigger fool of yourself. I ...

Paxetamor

I assumed that you must cycle on the pavement to see the shit in the park. My apologies, your eyesight must be even better than I originally thought. I'm not aware of any mud-slinging directed at you and I really can't be bothered looking back to check but it has never been my intention to disrespec...

Paxetamor

Mak, I think that the only thing we probably agree on is a disgust of dog shit not being picked up. Which, I have to say, is usually men that leave it for the Dogshit Fairy. The same goes for the pavements and I'm talking about pavements everywhere, not just the one beside the park. How you manage t...

Paxetamor

Mak, I too, I'm sure it will come as no surprise, didn't know that the Golfie was now called Portobello Park until fairly recently and I live in Magdalene. So what does that say about me? I'm stunned that you admitted to seeing anybody in the park. I always thought that this forum was all about when...

Paxetamor

Oh, and evidence of my Porty credentials can be found in the following line. YPR ya bas. Franck The bas/bass confusion could be exactly what the member of the YPR meant, maybe he intentionally spelt it wrong to prove his rebellious credentials. Either that or he was actually a member of the illitera...

Paxetamor

Upstaged by what? You? Love the way you assume I've looked everything up on Google, how very 21st century of you. FYI, I know your "tag" doesn't mean stupid, that wasn't what I was referring to. Please don't try to show me up in an attempt to further your agenda(whatever that may be).

Paxetamor

FFS, I was not the one that brought up the Big W again and I wasn't the one to start the latin "war", and yet now I'm stupid. Seashell, you are a piece of work. I neither know or ever want to know who you are, and I hope you think the same. Was it you that wrote that Desperate poem (in every sense o...

Paxetamor

Porty, I didn't ask for general enlightenment, just about what's getting built on Jewel Park. It did make me chuckle though. I'm not surprised you didn't finish your latin phrase: carpe diem, quam minumum credula postero. Not quite what you intended, was it? Anyway, dulce est desipere in loco. As fo...

Paxetamor

It's funny (if it wasn't so pathetic) that every time somebody posts anything that you find not to your liking it is branded stupid, moronic, idiotic etc. When really, I think the word you should be levelling at Bob is hypocrite. By the way, does the poster with the hectarage totals take into accoun...

Paxetamor

You're right. I thought it was Inchcolm, actually.

Paxetamor

It was a wee joke. I shouldn't assume that everyone has seen the film that I was referring to. Thanks for correcting me though.

Paxetamor

Is that the island from Battle Royale? Even I would find that a bit extreme.

Porty, the "crap (wot) I got" was uncalled for. Apart from anything else, it wasn't even my suggestion. I pinched it off somebody on the Evening News site. You should have a look.

Paxetamor

Have you endured any personal attacks? Why not lay out why Big W is an ideal site for the new school. It would be helpful and perhaps persuasive to use stuff like the desired standards for space per pupil and so on. What size is the site BTW? Porty It was actually Tufty that mentioned personal attac...

Paxetamor

Looking forward to the personal attacks as I doubt you can think of intelligent answers to the facts.
tufty

Tufty, I think you'll have more chance of personal attacks if you disagree with the boys. You don't seem to be doing that so I'm sure you'll be fine. Fact

Paxetamor

Porty, maybe if you weren't so focussed on building on the park you too could see that the Big W site is ideal. I thought that the suggestion was to keep the park as playing fields. Would that still mean that the area for the school is too small? As I said before, the area is served well with underp...

Paxetamor

POP,that's the beauty of it. Nobody would have to cross a road, there's an underpass connecting to the other side of the road. I do think it's worth serious consideration, and I don't appreciate being called a moron for agreeing with an alternative suggestion. That's what I mean by name-calling.

Paxetamor

admin: this thread has been split from New Portobello High School - PPAG Judicial Review . The Big W suggestion sounds ideal. If PPAG do appeal and work is held up for 2 years, what then? Is everybody just going to wait and see what the outcome to that is going to be? Nobody is disagreeing with the...

Porty wrote:What a novelty for Occupy Edinburgh . Be the first time they improved the tone of a neighbourhood .

What do you mean by that statement? Are you going for a jokey retort or do you mean to be offensive to all of those who live in the vicinity, or should I say 'hood.

Paxetamor

If that's the end of that, why don't go the whole hog and try and get them to make the pool 50m instead of 25m? I think that if we are to lose the park there should be something extraordinary to compensate. Given that Portobello has a long and proud history of swimmers, not to mention the problems t...

Paxetamor

There'll be no stopping me now. Please insert

x infinity to water polo team photo. I don't want my perving to in any way detract from the amount of hard work and dedication that they must have put in to achieve their success. They are to be applauded.

Paxetamor

Cheers Porty. I've already exceeded my apology quota for the day, you'll have to wait for my next faux pas (I'm sure it will be along shortly). Think I must be getting a bit antsy with the lack of movement on the other front. Just saw Wangi's post. RAGING. I don't know how to get those little bugger...

Paxetamor

Sorry Mak. My mistake, it's Porty that has a penchant for multiple smileys. I wasn't trying to turn it into a negative thread. I think that the achievements of the water polo team is fantastic and I hope that they get more praise and publicity than this forum provides, although if it hadn't been for...

Paxetamor

I'm surprised Makaveli hasn't put in a row of smiley hand claps for that one. Your humour obviously doesn't tickle his fancy. Talking of which, thanks for the photo of our magnificent victorious water polo team. I'm off for a wee wassail! That is what it means, isn't it?

Paxetamor

Brilliant news about the water polo team. Don't think it was down to the movable floor at the Baths though, pretty sure Porty(the team) has won it in the past without it. This may have been before Portobello was designated Village status. Is it officially a village?

Paxetamor

Thanks for clearing that wee mystery up for me. I don't know if I would have ever figured that out.

Paxetamor

Am I missing something? I know that this is a bit off the subject but why would you build a golf club there but go elsewhere( I can't work out where) to actually play golf?

Paxetamor

seanie wrote:The golf club is indeed older than the golf course. See if you can work out why that might be.

Sorry seanie, it's beyond me. Do you think that you and your entourage will enlighten me?

Paxetamor

Im presuming you agree school kids and staff should be considered a higher priority than dogs when it comes to precious space? I didn't realise it was a dog v kids and staff thing. I thought it was about keeping parkland from the threat of being built on. But, since you ask, dogs are dogs, I don't ...
